I was reading a financial advice column in the paper the other day and it was stated that at the present time......the person pays 45% of any money inherited over $2 million dollars.

That has got to end. It punishes people who have worked their hearts out in businesses or made sacrifices to build an estate.....it does not belong to the feds.

And .. that law was what resulted in a lot of family farms being lost. After the father's death, the taxes wiped out the working capital of the farm, and the families were forced to sell it to pay the taxes.

THAT IS A CRIME THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NEVER HAD TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR!!

We have a similar campaign going on in this country. The newspaper we normally get actually gave stickers away recently to stick in rear window of your car to campaign to abolish this unfair tax.

It not only affects the rich in Britain but the average Joe has to pay it as well if their parents leave a house.
